3 Lions On A Wall - Street Art

As England prepared to meet Italy in a historic Euro 2020 Final at Wembley Stadium in London, 106 miles away in the market town of Nuneaton an artist was commissioned to create an artwork depicting Manager Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling. "Three Lions On A Wall" artwork was created by local artists Nathan Parker aka 'N4T4' and James Bennett. The project is the brainchild of Kate and Paul Williams who live in the property above the work. The project also has a fundraising element, with money donated going toward the purchase of a defibrillator to be donated to a local sporting team, a response to a device that saved Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen earlier in Euro 2020. My film shows the England fans lining up to have their photos taken with the artwork and the work itself. #3lionsonawall #ItsComingHome .
